Han Kongque said: "You said that at this kind of auto show, Ford got a batch of pickup trucks for display?"
"Yes, they are said to be a batch of modified pickup trucks. I heard that they have just arrived and not many have been seen yet. I don't know the specific situation. Why don't we just go in and have a look. If you are not satisfied, you can come out again."
Qin Mingyue said.
"Of course you have to go in. You mean the modified pickup truck? Are you sure it was modified by Ford?" Su Jinglong's eyes lit up at this point.
Jiang Lindao: "Come on, let's go in and take a look. If it's really a modified Ford pickup truck, it shouldn't be too bad. This big guy is just right for our trip."
Han Peacock asked doubtfully: "How good is the Ford pickup truck? How big can it be?"
Thinking of the appearance of the pickup truck, Han Peacock couldn't see how big the pickup truck was, nor how good it was.
As they walked, Long Lin explained to Han Kongque: "The modified pickup truck is not what we usually see. This modified vehicle is called the Ford Raptor. Although it is a pickup truck, the modified image is completely different from that of a pickup truck.
There are several models of Ford Raptor. An ordinary f150 only costs five to six hundred thousand, while an f650 costs two to three million. If it is a modified one, it should be more expensive, usually more than four million."
When Han Kongque saw the excited young men, he was a little confused. In his impression, a pickup truck had a gray body, a flat body, and a small bucket at the back for loading. It was the most common form of transportation.
A car, no matter how much he modified it, could it still be converted into a tank?
Everyone walked into the showroom, and the models who came one step earlier than Qin Mingyue were already on duty. The beauties standing in front of the Big Macs were no longer so dazzling at this time.
"Is this a pickup truck?" The first person to be stunned was Qin Mingyue, who froze directly in front of the big man.
Then the dozen or so people who walked in were all shocked by the scene in the exhibition hall. A series of huge car bodies filled the exhibition hall. Domineering and mighty, only these can describe this kind of car.
Han Peacock was directly defeated by this domineering pickup truck. Is this thing still a pickup truck?
No wonder this car is called Raptor. This kind of car is a car driven by men. Han Peacock fell in love with this kind of car the first time he saw it.
This is the billboard on the roof of the car: the 2014 Ford Raptor F650 Titanic. This is really a Big Mac.
The Ford Raptor F650 inherits the unparalleled sense of muscle and thick lines of American cars. The square headlights and front bumper create a perfect front shape and proportions, like a warrior appearing in the desert.
When approaching this behemoth, it seems that all that is left in the world is its domineering appearance, solid body, chimney-like exhaust pipe, and huge impact grille.
A large area of piano paint adds a lot of luxury to the simple and elegant interior design.
The steering wheel is relatively wide overall, but the edges feel a bit slender, which does not fit the rough style of the F-650. It integrates cruise control function keys, which is very practical.
The instrument panel uses blue pointers to add a sense of technology. The four small meters on the top display driving information such as water temperature. The middle display screen can provide information such as driving mileage and cruising range.
Big! Big! Very big!
This may be the first reaction of anyone who sees a raptor.
This Raptor is nearly six meters long and more than two meters wide, making it a giant!
Looking at American cars, it is not difficult to find that Americans still have a certain obsession with "bigness", but this should be the obsession of all men. For such a big car, as long as it is a normal man, there is no way to resist him
temptation.
The Ford Raptor's extra-long body and wheelbase are not specially prepared for rear passengers, but to meet the cargo carrying capacity of the trunk. So in the final analysis, it has not lost one of the most important functions of a pickup truck.
However, I believe that there are only a few people in China who actually drive the Ford Raptor. They choose it because of its cargo capacity.
Just from the front face, you would hardly guess that this is a pickup truck, but more of a full-size SUV.
In the past, pickup trucks gave many people the impression that they were a bit slovenly, even a bit rustic.
But with the development of the times, pickup trucks are slowly changing. In terms of appearance and configuration, they are already on par with cars and SUVs.
The large black FORD lettering is embedded in the front grille, occupying 1/3 of the area, instead of using the ordinary Ford LOGO like other models.
The air intake grille that occupies almost half of the front face ensures good air circulation. The black plastic anti-scratch front bumper and metal lower guard are not only good-looking, but also necessary equipment when going off-road.
On the engine cover, although the gill-shaped cooling holes are not completely open, they can still play a role in cooling the engine.
Although the nearly six-meter-long body makes it look majestic when driving, it can easily block vehicles behind it.
Perhaps such a problem is not a big deal when running in the wilderness, but for today's urban traffic, it is very inconvenient, so Ford equipped the Raptor pickup truck with a square exterior rearview mirror.
This exterior rearview mirror has a wide field of view, and the height and folding of the rearview mirror can be adjusted from the cab.
Below the rearview mirror is a row of turn signals.
Han Kongque felt that this row of turn signals was prepared for those cars that were "petite" and "unfortunate" to drive next to the raptor. This was a good reminder, let alone being bullied by others!
Ford employees are very satisfied with Han Kongque's performance. They unexpectedly produced so many modified cars this time just to make a breakthrough.
Ten big investors came at once, and Ford's senior sales director couldn't sit still.
After confirming the buyer's information with Qin Mingyue, the fair-skinned and yellow-haired Ford Asia Sales Director suddenly became enthusiastic.
“Our Ford Raptor series sells very well in China, but we also know that you Chinese like to modify your cars, which makes us realize that we can do better.
Gentlemen, look at the logo of this car. The full name of this car is F-150SVTRaptor, where SVT refers to the Special Vehicle Team (Special Vehicle Team). This is the high-performance modification department of Ford Motor Company. Its main task is to improve Ford’s
Car model performance.
This is a high-end car specially built by our company for high-end Chinese customers. In this way, customers can directly purchase modified vehicles from our company, so there is no need to modify them themselves to avoid unexpected losses."
Seeing these dozen young people, each of them looking at the car with bright eyes, Edward was already laughing in his heart.
Now we all know that Chinese people are rich. They don’t buy the most suitable ones, but only the most expensive ones. It turns out that this car sells well in China, but compared to the price and profit of modified cars, the little money Ford makes is
Become dispensable.
The sales price of a Ford F650 in China is only around two million, but if it is modified by those small car repair shops, it can easily be sold for more than four million, almost five million.
Such an increase in value directly made the senior executives of Ford Company red-eyed when they learned about this situation.
They are professionals. They produce a car, but the money they make is not as much as those vendors who modify cars. This makes Ford feel embarrassed.
So after a series of demonstrations, we came up with such a car, a modified vehicle specially designed for Chinese customers, with whatever configurations you want.
Ford has provided all kinds of luxurious matching methods for cars, and they can meet any requirements of any customer.
Therefore, the price of this car was raised by Ford to 4.98 million, but the cost did not increase much compared to the original f650. It can be said that with just such a modification, their profits doubled.
Han Kongque listened to the sales director and continued to introduce this car in broken Chinese. It is a model that pays more attention to off-road performance. Therefore, large-size tires are essential, from the aspect ratio of the tires to the tread pattern.
It seems that it is more suitable for driving in special terrains such as gravel and quagmire.
The Ford Raptor's exterior design mainly relies on its huge body to attract attention, and the body configuration has been built with all-round off-road considerations.
At the same time, the pickup truck gives people a rustic feel and incorporates many fashionable elements, making it fully capable of competing with current SUVs.
Although the Ford Raptor is still full of the rugged feeling of an American car, many of the original configurations were not suitable for China's national conditions, and have now been changed. With such a large load, large space, and powerful car, no man can
You won't like it if you see it.
The regular price of the Ford Raptor F650 is 2.98 million, and the modified version of the off-road king is 4.98 million. The car is available today. You can take delivery of the car immediately after payment.
Looking at this stocky car, Han Kongque knew that this thing was heavier than an ordinary tank. Although it drank a lot of fuel, the large-capacity fuel tank gave it a longer range. Such a car was not suitable for driving in the city.
It is really suitable for self-driving travel.
"Qin Mingyue, later you tell the director to get everything ready for us. We have to go through all the necessary procedures. The seat covers, navigation, etc. must be the best. If you can do it, we can build a car like this."
I want ten cars, if it doesn’t work, forget it.” Han Kongque finally said to Qin Mingyue.
The profit for such a car should be very high. If Han Kongque and the others handle the procedures themselves, they may have to pay millions in handling fees for each car. But if they let the Ford company handle it, it won't cost that much at all, up to fifty or sixty.
10,000 is almost enough.
Therefore, if you buy ten cars at a time, Ford will definitely make a profit at a price of five million, and the profit will not be less.
Hearing Han Kongque say that he wanted ten cars directly, Qin Mingyue's eyes became even brighter, so bright that they almost shed tears.
If anyone like them is able to sell a car as a car model like them, the commission will be no less than that of a professional salesperson.
Because they have higher advantages than professional salespeople in some aspects, the sales results of some luxury cars and car models are often higher than those of professional salespeople.
Therefore, these luxury car manufacturers have some hidden terms specifically for selling model cars. These terms are much higher than the sales staff's commissions.
After Qin Mingyue learned about Han Kongque's bottom line, she could be said to be ecstatic. She sold ten luxury cars at one time. Even if she didn't make a car model at this auto show, she still made money.
For Qin Mingyue to work for this job, she was made very difficult by Edward who was spying on her beauty. If it weren't for the high price of 600 yuan per hour, Qin Mingyue would have given up her job long ago.
"Do you really want to buy ten cars? Don't you need to think about it anymore?" Although Qin Mingyue was happy that she could win a customer, she did not forget to think about Han Kongque and the others.
Han Kongque took one look and completely forgot about teasing the car model. Instead, he was caressing the car. Their satisfaction was now reflected in their hands. If possible, these guys would love to lie on the car and give it a kiss.
"No need to think about it, just tell the sales director that we want ten cars," Han Kongque said.
"Then I will try to get as many benefits for you as possible." Qin Mingyue said.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "It's not necessary. As long as you can fulfill the conditions I mentioned, it will save us the cost of a car."
"Okay, I'll go over and ask you." Qin Mingyue said happily.
"Mingyue, are you your friends?" A cool and beautiful woman standing next to the raptor asked immediately when she saw Qin Mingyue passing by.
"Does that need to be said? Mingyue must have helped with a lot of money." Another beauty said sourly.
Although they were talking, their figures remained motionless. Every movement they made was specially designed, so each one of them was so delicate.
They need to have a good figure, good skin, and dare to show off, so they are still very attractive. Of course, this must exclude faces whose original color can no longer be seen.
"Ming Yue is going to make a fortune this time. Each of these big cars costs almost 5 million. Even if the car is sold naked, there is still a bonus of 10,000 yuan!" Another car model said enviously.
How long do they have to stand in exchange for 10,000 yuan?
Qin Mingyue easily talked and earned as much as they could stand for two days. How could they not be envious of this?
Although it is relatively easy for car models to sell cars, they have to pay a price. Therefore, those honest and satisfactory car models can only get a share of their hard-earned money.
If there is no harvest at every auto show, the big bosses who will participate in the auto show in the future will ask for replacement, so although their salary is high enough, they face great pressure.
Qin Mingyue listened to the discussions of the car models along the way, but said nothing. She directly found the long-haired one, who was Edward, the sales director of the American Ford Company.
"Qin, how are your friends?" Edward said just now, his mouth was dry, and as soon as he took a sip of water, he ran out again. Under the economic crisis, Ford will definitely not have a good time. If this time
The result of the auto show is not satisfactory, maybe he will lose his job.
If the Japanese are not competing with the Chinese, then how can they, the Americans, have any chance?
Thank you U.S. government, Edward shouted in his heart.
Without the U.S. government stirring up trouble behind their backs, how could the Japanese have the courage to challenge China today?
The Japanese are developing too fast, so the Americans have to find something for them to do. Confrontation with China can limit the development of both countries, which is really a huge benefit to the Americans.
Qin Mingyue looked at Edward provocatively with her big bright eyes: "Mr. Edward, my friend is definitely going to buy a car. However, if there are not enough discounts, I think they will choose other models."
"No, no, beautiful Qin, we have a discount, and it is a big discount. Since you have come to the auto show, you have come with the greatest sincerity. If your friends have any requests, you can definitely ask them."
When Edward heard this, he realized that this was the opening rhythm, so his Chinese, which was a bit stuttering, became extremely smooth for the first time.
"Then how much discount can Mr. Edward provide?" Qin Mingyue smiled so proudly.
"Qin, I can tell that your friends are all noble men. I don't know how many cars they need. If they all pick up the cars from us, I can calculate your commission as a sales manager level.
1%, the commission for a car will be increased five times." Edward is not stupid, he really wants to stand on the same front as Qin Mingyue, so that the benefits can be maximized.
Qin Mingyue said: "I want a 1% commission, but my friend's discount cannot be less."
"How many cars? If there are more than three, all of our top-level configurations can be made available to them. We will equip them with what kind of cars they need. In this way, your friends will definitely be satisfied. They will
I don’t care about the little money.” Edward spoke Chinese fluently and understood China’s national conditions even more.
"I can let my friends buy more than three cars here. In this way, you must complete all the procedures for the cars. You know, my friends are afraid of trouble." Qin Mingyue smiled sweetly.
Edward was stunned when he heard this. Are they going to handle the formalities?
Just one additional tax costs more than 500,000 yuan. This is still one car. If there are more than three, it will cost more than 1.5 million yuan. Plus miscellaneous expenses, each car will cost more than 700,000 yuan to complete the procedures.
together.
A car worth nearly five million yuan, if discounted by 700,000 yuan, would be equivalent to selling it for 4.3 million yuan. Can they still make money in this way?
It turns out that they made money even if they sold it for three million yuan. Now, although they have added some configurations, the ex-factory price has not increased much.
This is their cost advantage as a large manufacturer. Even if they improve some configurations, the cost will not increase by more than one million. Now with a modified brand, their profits will directly increase by one million. Of course they will make money.
Edward, who figured it out, also smiled brightly. Now he can sell at least three cars, right?
Even if he can't sell a single car in the next two days of the auto show, then his visit this time was not in vain.
"Dear Qin, if you can let your friends buy five of our cars, I can agree to their request." Out of the idea of maximizing interests, Edward added some conditions.
